redandwhite Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I thought this was deserving of its own thread. Obviously with the renovations, the stadium has improved into a pretty elite park, but being that most here are all diehards, would you revert back to the stadium five years ago, if it meant there would be 10,000 more tickets to get your hands on?

kapkomet Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 You would. Bad post. Just kidding! It's an interesting question. I think that they have created the ideal supply and demand issue - and I think that they needed to improve the park to draw more fans in the long run.

redandwhite Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 (edited) I completely agree Kap and obviously the park has become a great place to see a ballgame, its just an interesting question that I've been thinking about for the last few weeks. Personally, I think with only 38,000 seats, the Cell is going to be like its counterpart to the North in terms of ticket availability next season and beyond.

greasywheels121 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I've always liked the park. It's the first MLB park I ever got to step foot in. However, I'm much more pleased with the stadium, post-renovation. We can do without the seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio Osuna Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Three Words: Home Run Porch. The stadium is much better now than it was in 2002. I wouldn't change it for 1 in 5000 chances rather than 1 in 10,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio Osuna Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Green seats are so conformist, though. We'll look like every other stadium out there. I do love the retired number portraits on the outfield wall. With everything turned green like every other park in baseball, that's what lets me identify US Cellular Field in a split-second. Also the lights in the visitor's bullpen, if its a shot of right field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the Blue last time I was there. I haven't seen the green in person or completely installed, so I don't know how that'll look when finished. Overall though...I'm more than willing to sacrifice some seats in order to make the place better. Did you guys like sitting up in the top? Hell, my dad still tells horror stories of his first game up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll look like every other stadium out there. not really. they Sox are trying to make the new stadium look a little more like the old one. notice the yellow line on the outfield walls, dark green color scheme.... there is no reason to keep light blue seats just to be "non-conformist".
